Engineers in the vehicle industry are constantly improving performance and functionality. That’s where our automotive bushings expertise and engineering capabilities converge.
As a bushing manufacturer, we can provide numerous material options and technical support to make sure the bushing’s performance is maximized based on the application.
Automotive bushings help to facilitate movement in many applications including belt tensioners, seat recliners and frames, and door hinges. When linked with CCTY’s line of automotive bearings, engineers have full access to proven and durable motion control.
Seat Recliner Bushings
Seats in passenger cars do everything from reclining the seat to elevating and sliding it forward. Bushings are also found in headrests and armrests, and seat frame.
Self lubricating materials enable the seat to move with fluid motion, low NVH and a small clearance.
Seat Recliner Bushings
Comprised of PTFE, sintered bronze and steel backing, the TPA bushing has proven to supersede competitors bushings:
- TPA Bushing has superior results against competing brands
- Excels in stall wear cycle tests
- Stable low coefficient of friction
- Speed up to 20 degrees per second
- TPA Min 2,500 Nm Torque // H-TPA Min 5,500 Nm Torque
Bushings for Seat Frames
TSA is a versatile bushing that is used in seat frame applications.
The bushing features surface PTFE and additives, porous bronze and low carbon steel backing. This material composition results in low friction and excellent wear resistance, which provides a long operation life.
Shock Absorber Bushings
Piston and Guide Bushings
CCTY’s TLA bushing material is compatible with all types of shock absorber oils and does not swell. It presents low friction over the entire life of the bushing. The environmentally-friendly material has excellent wear resistance even with inadequate lubrication. Slide and guide bearings from CCTY are:
- Maintenance-Free
- Lead-Free
- Temp Range -200°C to 280°C
A full range of shock absorber bearings, eyelets and bushings are available from CCTY.
Belt Tensioner Bushings
TFA is a versatile bushing that is used in belt tensioners. It features a carbon steel backing, sintered porous bronze and a PTFE composite polymer.
- Minimized operational bushing harmonic noise and harshness levels
- Improved cantilevered edge loading wear resistance
- Maximized polymer overlay for dampening serpentine belt forces and vibration
- Unique polymer bushing structure that generates less working energy on the tensioner system
Windshield Wiper, Hinge and Trunk Bushings
This bushing features a carbon steel backing with sintered porous bronze impregnated with a PTFE composite polymer.
- Self-lubricating material resulting in low friction and excellent wear resistance giving a long life
- Excels in wiper applications by supporting bearing load, speed and environmental temperatures
- Available as cylindrical, flanged, and thrust
